Telemedicine can enhance lives of chronically ill pa. Biomedical informatics and translational medicine. Biomedical informatics involves a core set of methodologies that can provide a foundation for crossing the “translational barriers” associated with translational medicine. To this end, the fundamental aspects of biomedical informatics (e.g., bioinformatics, imaging informatics, clinical informatics, and public health informatics) may be essential in helping improve the ability to bring basic research findings to the bedside, evaluate the efficacy of interventions across communities, and enable the assessment of the eventual impact of translational medicine innovations on health policies.
Here, a brief description is provided for a selection of key biomedical informatics topics (Decision Support, Natural Language Processing, Standards, Information Retrieval, and Electronic Health Records) and their relevance to translational medicine.

Telepathology for patient care: what am I getting my. The vast advancements in telecommunications and converting medical information to a digital format have increased the number of applications within telemedicine. Telepathology, in simplest terms, is the practice of formally rendering a pathologic diagnosis based upon examination of an image rather than of a glass slide through traditional microscopy. The use of telepathology for clinical patient care has so far been limited to relatively few large academic institutions. Although a number of challenges remain, there is increasing demand for the use of information technology in pathology as a whole owing to the expansion of health care networks and the opportunity to enhance the quality of service delivered to patients. The software used to acquire, display, and manage digital images for clinical patient care may be subject to national and federal regulations just as is any other electronic information system.

The Internet: gateway to reliable clinical and research information or floodgate to unsubstantiated information of insufficient depth and variable quality? Can it help the physician locate high-quality information that will enhance patient care? Can it help patients become more knowledgeable, involved, and competent in participating in their health care management? Can it be used efficiently and effectively during a busy practice day to immediately educate providers and patients right at point of care? The answer to all these questions is yes.

Enhancing quality of life through telerehabilitation. Telerehabilitation is an emerging method of delivering rehabilitation services that uses technology to serve clients, clinicians, and systems by minimizing the barriers of distance, time, and cost.
The driving force for telerehabilitation has been as an alternative to face-to-face rehabilitation approaches to reduce costs, increase geographic accessibility, or act as a mechanism to extend limited resources. A rationale for telerehabilitation is the potential to enhance outcomes beyond what may result from face-to-face interventions by enabling naturalistic, in vivo interventions. There is considerable support for the value of interventions delivered in the natural environment, ranging from addressing efficacy concerns by addressing problems of generalization, to increasing patient participation, including environmental context in rehabilitation, and increasing patient satisfaction.

Digital divide: variation in internet and cellular p. We sought to describe: (1) the prevalence of internet, cellular phone, and text message use among women attending an urban sexually transmitted infections (STI) clinic, (2) the acceptability of health advice by each mode of information and communication technology (ICT), and (3) demographic characteristics associated with ICT use.
This study is a cross-sectional survey of 200 English-speaking women presenting to a Baltimore City STI clinic with STI complaints. Participants completed a self-administered survey querying ICT use and demographic characteristics. Three separate questions asked about interest in receiving health advice delivered by the three modalities: internet, cellular phone, and text message. We performed logistic regression to examine how demographic factors (age, race, and education) are associated with likelihood of using each modality. The median age of respondents was 27 years; 87% were African American, and 71% had a high school diploma. Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Supportiv. Healthcare ICT in Japan—A view from the top. Telepsychiatry in the Baltimore Blizzard, Part Three. The Digital Divide and Urban Older Adults. Computers and the Internet offer older adults opportunities and resources for independent living.
However, many urban older adults do not use computers. This study examined the demographic, health, and social activities of urban older adults to determine variables that might predict the use and nonuse of computers in this population. A secondary data analysis was performed using the 2001 Detroit City-Wide Needs Assessment of Older Adults (n = 1410) data set. Logistic regression was used to explore potential differences in predictor variables between computer users and nonusers.
Overall, computer users were younger (27%), had a higher level of education, were more likely to be employed, had an annual income greater than $20 000, and were healthier and more active than nonusers.

Personal Health Records: High Supply, Low Demand. “Personal health records – compiled and maintained by patients, but available to providers with the patient’s permission – seem to be a market in search of a need.
Microsoft launched its PHR service, HealthVault, in 2007, and Google followed suit in 2008 with Google Health. Microsoft has the Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente, among others, as partners, while Google’s list includes Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Some, such as the Cleveland Clinic and Walgreen’s Pharmacies, work with both. Users can record information in their PHR, or get their providers to add information from their records – if the provider is so equipped and has an agreement with the PHR vendor. What drives EHR implementation? mHealth: aprendizajes para nuevos proyectos. Notes on Certification. “One of the questions I get asked a lot is “What version of C32, C83 and C80 specifications” should I be using to meet the certification requirements in the IFR.
The HITSP Care Management and Health Records TC waited to see what the Standards and Certification interim rule would look like BEFORE we finished updates to them. The HITSP Panel Approved 2.0 releases of C83 and C80 were written AFTER we saw the rule, and contain provisions in them that SUPPORT that rule. Prior Panel Approved versions (e.g., 1.1) of these specifications DO NOT contain these provisions. So, if you want the best that HITSP has to offer for certification under meaningful use, use the 2.0 versions of the HITSP C80 and C83 specifications in your CCD implementations.
